Our Services
Licensed technicians cover the full range — lockouts, car key programming, rekeys, and commercial master-key systems — anywhere in Dripping Springs and the surrounding metro, any hour of the day.
Stuck outside your house, car, or storefront? Our TDLR-licensed technicians run dispatch 24 hours a day, every day of the year, across the greater Austin area. We use non-destructive entry methods on every lock type, so your door or frame stays intact, and most calls are resolved in minutes once the technician is on-site.
Lockout from $49–$99

If your car keys are gone or snapped off, a mobile technician comes to you with the equipment to cut and program transponder keys, laser-cut keys, fobs, and proximity smart keys for nearly every manufacturer. Programming happens on-site, so there's no tow and no dealership wait — typically at well under what a dealer would charge.
Car key replacement from $120–$300

A rekey resets who can open your existing locks without swapping the hardware — the fastest and cheapest way to lock out a previous keyholder after a move, a lost key, or a break-in attempt. We rekey and replace deadbolts, knobsets, and mortise cylinders on the spot, and can step you up to Grade 1 or high-security cylinders while we're there, all at a flat price agreed before we start.
Rekey from $19/lock + service call

For offices, retail, and multi-tenant buildings, we plan and install master-key hierarchies, commercial-grade deadbolts, panic bars, and electronic access control. Licensed commercial technicians schedule around your operating hours to avoid disrupting business, and every job ships with a documented key-control policy so duplication stays authorized.
Commercial service call from $95

A worn or damaged ignition switch can strand you without warning. Our automotive technicians diagnose the fault — a worn tumbler, a key snapped off inside the cylinder, or an electrical fault — and repair or swap the ignition cylinder in the field. Cylinders for most common vehicles are carried on the truck, along with the tools to remove a broken key fragment without further damage.
Ignition service from $150–$325

Forgotten the combination, misplaced the key, or the lock mechanism has simply failed — our certified safe technicians can get most home and business safes open without cutting or drilling. We work on dial combination units, digital keypad safes, and fire-rated security safes, and can reset combinations or repair the locking mechanism during the same visit.
Safe opening from $125–$350

Whether you're handing out keys to family, tenants, or staff, we cut accurate duplicates of standard house and office keys, plus restricted, dimple, and patented profiles including Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. Every copy is cut on calibrated equipment and tested before it leaves our hands, either from the mobile unit or at your address.
Standard key copy from $5 · High-security from $25

Smart locks add keyless entry, remote unlocking, and unique access codes per user — ideal for short-term rentals, shared households, and anyone tired of carrying keys. We install and pair smart locks from brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and August with your Wi-Fi or smart-home hub, and confirm correct door alignment so the lock latches reliably every time.
Smart lock install from $149 (labor)
Text UsHow It Works
Text or call any hour — a licensed technician answers personally, not a call center.
We confirm your exact location and get a technician moving, with a realistic arrival window, usually 20 to 45 minutes.
Once on-site, your technician diagnoses the job and gives you one flat price to approve before any work begins.
The lock or key issue gets resolved, everything is tested in front of you, and you're left fully secure.

Reviews
“Locked myself out close to midnight and had someone at the door in under half an hour. Clean entry too — no marks on the frame. This is who I'm calling next time, if there is one.”
“Lost both sets of car keys the same week. They met me at work, cut a new key, and had it programmed before my lunch break ended. Way cheaper than the dealership quote I got first.”
“Rekeyed every door after closing on the house. Technician walked me through what he was doing at each lock and didn't rush. Nice knowing the old owners' keys are worthless now.”
“6am lockout and I dialed three numbers before this one picked up — and they were the fastest to arrive by a long shot. Reasonable price for that hour too.”
“Had a smart lock I couldn't get talking to Google Home. Tech had it paired and working inside an hour and showed me how to add more users myself.”
“We blanked on our own safe combination — of course. They got it open with zero damage and set a combination we'll actually remember this time.”
